## 1.4 - April 25th 2022

- Removing "next" and "previous" which are quite confusing and not obvious

## 1.3 - April 2th 2022

- Introduced "set redirects" which redirects twitter,youtube,medium,reddit to alternative frontends.

- Streaming URL without valid content-length are now closed after 5Mo of download (thanks to Eoin Carney for reporting the issue)

- Restored some AV-98 certificate validation code that was lost I don’t know how.
- Improved clarity of dependencies in "version"
- Fixed a crash when the cache is already a dir inside a dir.
- Fixed a crash when manually entering an unknown gopher URL while offline
- Fixed an error with older less version

- Call to shell commands has been refactorised to improve compatibility with python 3.6 (with testing from Pelle Nilsson)
